Moreover, the former Minnesota Timberwolves star, Gilbert Arenas, never misses an opportunity to dive into the conversation in his podcast episodes. Similarly, in the recent viral anecdote involving Kobe-Wade took the center stage in the show Gil’s Arena ahead of the team USA’s opener in FIBA World Cup.

It all began when Athletic’s Joe Vardon reported a conversation between USA’s head coach Steve Kerr and Anthony Edwards.

Ahead of the opening game in FIBA WC, team USA played five exhibition games to warm up. Importantly, Anthony Edwards secured most points in four out of the five games. Despite that, Steve Kerr asked Edwards to come off the bench on the WC matches, said Joe Vardon. He also tried to convince Ant, saying Dwyane Wade came off the bench when Kobe Bryant joined the team USA for Beijing Olympics 2008. Reportedly, in response, the Wolves star said, “All right, we don’t have a Kobe.”

Following that, the statement went viral in the NBA world. Gilbert Arenas didn’t miss out on the party and he had his say on the conversation.

Importantly, he even called Ant, the ‘Kobe’ of the current USA team.
